We thought that the regenerated environmental society we are dreaming in, are ourselves when we will have changed. We do not have to feel guilty for nothing but jointly responsible for all.

We have disturbed the biosphere and it is our task to restore it. To start, our goal must be to recognize it and assume the cost of changing. We have to ensure that the environment will be our own conscience.

Fundació TERRA or TERRA Foundation is a social instrument to spread out the message that every person could and must do little things to contribute to preserve the environment.

Fundació TERRA is a non profit, non governmental Spanish organization founded on September 1994 by independent people in order to improve the responsability of our society in environmental subjects. The preservation of our milieu concerned all of us. It is for this that Fundació TERRA wants to act as a catalyzer of enterprises which increases the environmental conscienceness of people and facilitates the access to reliable information.

At the same time, another goal we are pursuing is to promote model conservation projects in our natural heritage around cities. All of us are involved in the preservation of our natural environment and only with our common conducts we could contribute effectively to improve the world we will legate to the future generations.
